Improved Predictive Value: GLIM Criteria and HGS Test in Overweight Colorectal Cancer Patients

The retrospective study, which enrolled 850 overweight colorectal cancer patients, found that the incidence of malnutrition was 12.4% in the GLIM group and 6.4% in the HGS-GLIM group. Both malnutrition groups had a significantly higher incidence of complications compared to the control group. Patients in the HGS-GLIM-malnutrition group had worse overall survival and disease-free survival. HGS-GLIM was also independently associated with postoperative complications, overall survival, and disease-free survival. Overall, the combined GLIM criteria and HGS test showed better predictive value for postoperative complications and long-term survival in overweight colorectal cancer patients compared to the standard GLIM criteria alone.
